Cerrato v. Nutribullet, LLC
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida

Relevant factsFree
Phillis Cerrato (plaintiff) sued Nutribullet, LLC (defendant) for products liability, claiming she was injured because she could not untwist the cup of her Nutribullet Pro 900 blender from its base to turn it off. During discovery, Cerrato requested all accident reports and all consumer complaints of any type relating to the product, with no time limit or subject-matter limit. Nutribullet objected that the requests were overbroad and disproportionate to the case, and Cerrato moved to compel production.
